Father's Day cards


I looked for a "recipe" that I could generate several cards with. Manly cards a hard enough to find anyway. This was a Happy Birthday idea that I used for Father's Day. I made 5 of this design for my son, brother-in-laws, and nephew-in laws. As always all the circles are cut by hand...no chipboard, die cuts or machines involved.


These are for my Dad and Father-in-law.
Letters are drawn and colored in with glitter gel pens.

2 more of the first design




This one is made SPECIAL for my Nephew-in-law who will be going to Afghanistan in August.
The stars on the left are from a tissue box. I used a marker with stamp end for the blue stars on the red paper. If you don't have a pattern you want ...make it! Glitter gel pens again on the gold stars and outline...also the "American Hero" letters.
